Social security

If I have understood correct, then kids not born in USA but with American parent AREN'T counted as American citizens until such been in USA demand is fullfilled.

Some remarkable though if they aren't flexible during coviid with the travel resttrictions...

(I haven't done it, but II believ in Sweden all can be done at distance before covid too.)

Correct social security won't cooperate

USA isn't known ffor cooperating, bur for forciing   

(I have had a huge problem in SWEDEN sending money to PHILIPPINES as if it wouldd be USAs right to decide!!!  But after months it got solved finaly yesterday because I'm to stubbornto give up     so I got approval finaly afte many No.)

iam married living in the Philippines. I'm American and social security says my 4 year old son has to spend 30 days on USA soil to get his monetary benefit (HIS CHECK). Anyone know a way around this?

That information is not correct, Richard, unless the rules have changed in the past 3 years, which I doubt.  I know of American expats who have obtained Social Security benefits for their child with a Filipina, by filing a form FS-240, Consular Report of Child Born Abroad, and then following up with the embassy in Manila.  The child definitely never made a trip to the US. This should always be done anyway, to get on record that your child is a US citizen, being born of an American parent.  This form is a US Dept of State Form, but I believe if you contact the Embassy in Manila, they can tell you what exact process to follow. They can also process the SSA request for support.

Hope this helps

NOTE: If you are receiving SSA benefits and are expecting covid assistance, the banks use a different routing number for the IRS if you are filing tax returns.

I explained what the OP needed to do in Post #5. The post that followed from Lasvegan that contained further clarification and the link to State Dept in blue worked fine for me  (Post #6).  Enzyte Bob, I think your browser was not correctly seeing the link in blue for some reason. In any case, I  am going to request that the off topic posts discussing the link be removed, as this is an important thread that others may benefit from.

I'm not referring to the link to the State Dept, I'm talking about the incorrect link above it to
americansabroad.org.

It hat a fatal error that did not show it as an recognizable link by the scripted software.

Correct link: https://www.americansabroad.org/guidanc … -overseas/

Broken link:
...https://www.americansabroad.org > guidance-for obtaining-your-social security-number-from-overseas/                                             

Two fatal errors   three periods  ...  before https:   
and after  .org    >     should have been this /

Removing my clutter is a good idea

@richard frazier Social security laws for foreign born children have changed. They now qualify when born in the Philippines to a non-USA citizen mother. Check with sa.gov.

@pnwcyclist  Old law, new law the kids qualify. The old qualifications are not in the new Social Security handbook. Hence Philippine children born overseas to A non-US citizen mother, now get their fathers SS benefits if qualified. Just as any other American child would.

@pnwcyclist ok.. thank you.. nice to know info.
